Better task management

In the previous release, we included a survey to ask how to make the task system work better for you, and recieved a ton of valuable feedback. Thank you to everyone that responded! Based on the results of the survey, this release includes a bunch of improvements to make tasks even easier to use:

  • Improved session restore behavior: Instead of always restoring your previous session, Min will now ask you whether you want to return to your previous task or not:

tasks session restore

  • Task collapsing: You can now collapse tasks you aren't using so they take up less space in the overlay.

tasks collapsing

  • Undo delete, which makes it harder to accidentally delete tasks.

task  delete undo

  • Favicons let you find tabs more quickly in the overlay.

task favicons

  • Keyboard shortcuts to switch tasks: shift+alt+ctrl+1 switches to the first task you have open, shift+alt+ctrl+2 to the second task, etc.

Improved Browser Commands

Browser Commands let you quickly control the browser from the keyboard, without having to remember keyboard shortcuts. In this release, they're even easier to use:

  • ctrl+e now opens the searchbar and shows a list of available commands.
  • Commands now autocomplete as you type.
  • Added a !nametask command to rename the current task.

1.10: Better reader mode and easier installation

Better reader mode

Min has always had the ability to open pages in reader mode by clicking on the icon next to a tab, which reduces distractions, allows pages to load faster, and stops many common forms of tracking. Starting in this release, reader mode is more accurate at determining which parts of a page to include and which to leave out, and includes a sepia theme to make it easier to read for long periods. Additionally, Min now lets you automatically open pages on a site in reader mode, without having to click a button for every article you want to read.

After the second time you open an article from a site in reader mode, you'll be asked whether you want to turn it on automatically, or you can enable reader mode at any time by clicking on the gear icon in the upper-right corner:

readermode

Easier installation on Windows

Previously, running Min on Windows meant downloading a folder full of files, which was often confusing to use. Starting in this release, Min can now be installed by running a single installer, which is easier and simpler to run.

Translation changes

Updated translations for several languages:

Other improvements

  • Added a !closetask command to close tasks (by @brakkum)
  • The task overlay now scrolls up or down when you drag a tab near the edge of the screen.
  • You can now use the tab key to navigate through the tab overlay.

In this release, you'll also see an option to take a survey about how you use the tasks feature. The results of this survey will help improve the way tasks work; if you have any other ideas, you can also provide feedback here.

  • Content blocking is now around 3x faster.
  • You can now delete invididual history items and bookmarks after opening the respective lists (from the view menu).
  • Removed the preference to disable swipe navigation.
    • If you have issues accidentaly going backwards or forwards in this release, please create a new issue here.
  • Fixed an issue where the browser would freeze while entering fullscreen mode.
